Palazzo Francesconi-Mocenni
Appearance
The Palazzo Francesconi, later Mocenni, is a 16th-century Renaissance urban palace located on Via del Cavallerizzo in the city of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy.
History
[edit]The design of the palace (circa 1520) was previously attributed to Baldassarre Peruzzi, but more recently attributed to Pietro Cataneo, commissioned by Bernardo Francesconi.[1] The palace exterior is in poor state of conservation. The façade remains incomplete with only some window frames in place; other windows are sealed with walls or reduced. The piano nobile has two rooms with frescoes attributed to Peruzzi.[2] The third floor has 19th century frescoes.
